A drawing by Charles Cunhill of the fighting in September 1944 at the Arnham Bridge in the Netherlands, by the 1st Airborne Division, an airborne infantry division of the British Army along with the Polish 1st Parachute Brigade after they landed 60 miles behind German lines, to capture crossings on the River Rhine. They failed to achieve their Second World War objectives, were surrounded and took very heavy casualties, but held out for nine days before the survivors were evacuated.
